Hockey drills
- 2 attackers defend against 1.
- A passes the ball back to fellow player B.
- From then on the 2v1 starts.
- Tips for the attackers:
- Play over the backhand side of your opponent.
- Do not run too much with the ball but continue passing
- Make eye contact with your team-mate
- Tips for the defender:
- Keep the shaft closed
- Let the attacker make the mistake
- Stand firmly/actively
- Later on, add that if the defender has taken the ball away, he can score in a little goalkeeper's box at the side
- Attackers must then switch.
- Extension of exercise 1 of this training.
- A passes the ball to B.
- A moves to the outside to get the ball back there.
- There is no space there so they accelerate on the pawn back to the middle and get the ball from B.
- B must look at what A is doing and judge what is the best moment to pass the ball.
- Let A do this a number of times and then put in a defender.
- B must then think about when they want to pass the ball
- This may be when A runs to the outside, that they give the ball when they thinks they can, or that they wait for A to speed up and then give the ball.
- B should therefore start thinking and see what the best moment is
- Set up on both sides
